Chilren are victims of all ages

Several people have had the dream to correct the sins and errors of the human society. Hamlet Prince of Denmark, a Shakespearean tragedy, tells the story of a young man, by the name of Hamlet, who gained the knowledge of a terrible incident that his kingdom had suffered. Hamlet is a victim of his own humanity. The decisions he must make, make him human, and his indecisiveness makes him a man. Hamlet was a victim and a hero within his kingdom. He had knowledge of the vicious deception brought upon by his uncle, and he was the only person capable of correcting or at least trying to justify the death of his father. He was the only child of his parents, however, his father¡¦s ghost asked Hamlet to avenge his death, and Hamlet¡¦s procrastination to do so adds to his humanity. "The play dramatizes the perpetual struggle to which all civilization

M. Butterfly draws attention to the issue of western stereotyping of Asia, Hwang attacks western stereotypes by refiguring the well-known Madama Butterfly theme. Using Brechtian devices that place the viewer in a position to critically evaluate the representations in his play, Hwang hopes to break the century-old butterfly myth of Asian submissiveness to western dominance. M. Butterfly is originally written to be performed and not read, Hwang uses the narrator to describe the stage for the reader. Therefore, most of the narrator¡¦s comments are related to how the characters move on stage, and how the stage itself looks like; ¡§They start to walk about the stage. It is a summer night on the Beijing streets. Sounds of the city play on the house speakers¡¨ (Hwang 21). Hwang¡¦s technique in M. Butterfly , the narrator is trying to be as objective and concise as possible; ¡§Lights fade up to reveal Rene Gallimard, 65, in a prison cell. He wears a comfortable bathrobe, and looks old and tired. The sparsely furnished cell contains a wooden crate upon which sits a hot plate with a kettle, and a portable recorder¡¨ (Hwang 1). The only two describing words in this presentation of Gallimard and his cell are ¡§comfortable¡¨ and ¡§sparsely.¡¨ different. The narrator in M. Butterfly does not have the role a database revealing new facts about the characters but to describe the stage and the characters¡¦ movements. Once again, it is important not to interpret that as a weakness in Hwang¡¦s writing, but as another perspective on how to tell the reader about the secrets. Instead of doing it through the narrator, Hwang does it in a clever way through the conversation between characters:

As for The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams (1911-1983), the idea conveyed in this play is that of image versus reality. The main theme of this play is about a frustrated family who are deserted by the father and each character escapes his/her reality in a different way. Amanda Wingfield, she is the mother of Tom and Laura and often digresses back to memories of her former days on the southern plantation farm and her night with 17 gentleman callers. Laura, she is the crippled and very shy daughter of Amanda who keeps her hard pressed to finding a husband. Tom is also pressed by his mother to find his sister a gentleman caller, and to keep the job at the shoe factory to support the family. Jim O¡¦Connor is a friend of Tom from the factory who Tom invites to dinner and Amanda treats as Laura¡¦s first gentleman caller. ¡§On those occasions they call me - Ell Diablo! Oh, I could tell you things to make you sleepless! My enemies plan to dynamite this place. They¡¦re going to blow us all sky-high some night! I¡¦ll be glad, very happy, and so will you! You¡¦ll go up, up on a broomstick, over Blue Mountain with seventeen gentlemen callers!¡¨ Tom says this to Amanda in a fit of rage.

Song: ¡¥Please¡Kit all frightens me. I¡¦m a modest Chinese girl¡¦¡¨ (Hwang 40).
